Every IC on the I ²C bus requires a unique address. Usually such ICs can select from a set of 2 to 8 possible addresses to allow multiple chips of the same type on one bus. The SAA1064 can select from 4 different addresses by applying a specific voltage on pin 1 (ADR). Unfortunately the address pin on my module is hard wired to ground.

Therefore changing the address of it requires some cutting and rewiring. Fortunately that is only required when more than one module is to be used on the same I ²C bus. The track just above C02 (the small brown part in the upper right hand corner) is the track that connects the ADR pin of the SAA1064 to ground (right side of C02). By cutting this track and connecting pin 1 of the SAA1064 directly to the Vcc you can simply select address $76 instead of $70. Selecting any of the other address involves adding 2 resistors to create the appropriate voltage on pin 1. A voltage of about 1. 9V will select addres $72, while a voltage about 3. 1V will select address $74. The diagram above shows a complete I ²C message. Such a message consists of an address byte and a total of 6 data bytes. The diagram only shows a write message. You can read from the device, but that will only tell you whether it was just powered up. Thus not very useful, so I will restrict myself to the write mode only. The address byte is mainly fixed, only 2 bits may differ depending on the voltage on the ADR pin. On my module the ADR pin is hard wired to ground, which makes it respond to address $70. The first data byte in the string is always a sub-address. It selects what data byte is to be send next. In most cases this sub-address byte is $00, which means that the next data byte is the control byte. By using other sub-addresses you can skip right to the data...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
